I am enjoying MA Mictlan a lot. I won't explain why because I have a feeling most people on this board have no idea how ridiclously amped up the lil' tribals are now. I love them, especially since I have the option to play without blood. I've never been good at handling blood magic, and I am afraid that Mictlan's lower level priests will suck at blood sacrificing, so I go with MA where they don't do any of that stuff! Oh yeah, and that means a Mictlan option with no micro!

I also liked playing with MA Ulm a little just to see how much better their new sprites are. I'm not sure summoning bears and dire wolves has really made them competitive yet, though. Espeically with MA Caelum Cold-3 having heavier infantry (tht can fly, or are holy!) with lower encumbrance and magic weapons.

In the Early Era there is already about 8 nations that I absolutely want to try in MP! I'm a big fan of nature/poison nations (I miss the Pythian serpent Cult).

I like Early Pangaea. I want to mass lamiahs with an imprisoned N9 Mother of monsters but but I'm not sure its a good idea:
-I plan to cast them only with MoM, so I dont really use the N4 Pans for summonning.
-Even with mass protection lamiahs alone arent so powerful outside GoH dominion (I doubt they'll match the mid-game rush of N9 Bless Niefel Giants & Jarls).

For theses reasons I think I'll use lamiahs with sauromatia, (hydra + lamiahs). I really like the pans but honestly dont really know how to use them effectively with a N5+ prentender (other than VO summonning or locust swarm spamming).

I should try Charm + penetration items in MP:
charm(N3) charm charm charm reinvigoration(B1)

I love that Lord of Night pretender. A titan that is a stealthy flying assassin? And can summon aid during the assassination? Even un-equiped he can take out nearly any commander. There has to be a blitz-game tactic in that.
